Feeling Festive....

From The White Company and fell in love with them. Very me....but the price wasn't. £10 for a set of 3 mini striped stockings. Although I see now they have been reduced to £7.50 and have sold out.

Imagine my delight when in Sainsburys I see almost the exact same thing. £1 each and filled with snowmen chocolates! I love a bargain!

Also available in light green stripes. They will go nicely with my big stockings...

I also paid a visit to a Garden centre to check out their decorations this year, and came back with a few....

I don't know about you, but even if you have enough Christmas decorations to completely fill your house, somehow, it's not 'Christmas' if you don't get a few new ones each year. My tastes have always been quite plain when it comes to christmas decorations, but this year, I have found myself very drawn to the sprayed glass ornaments. I saw some beautiful ones in Heals with london Taxis etc but the price was way too much.....so I settled with these little ones...

Hats and mittens and all little wonderful delights...

Some glass candle clip decorations for the tree...

Can you believe the size of this glass heart? It is HUGE! Mr H will roll his eyes when he sees it, giving me that look of 'why? why? why?' But it just had to be. They had HUGE glass acorns which were also rather beautiful, but I thought I could probably just about get away with the heart, but that would be it! The little glass Santas stole my heart, such cheery, jolly little fellas.

I just have to get a tree now, so these little beauties are hanging around, waiting to be put up and shown in all their glory. So, I sit, and look at them....and smile...and feel really rather festive...sipping a nice hot latte from my cups which eventually arrived after a very long wait. so I smile and feel rosy today.

Perhaps a potter or two. A few more makes to be made and a poorly Baby Bear to snuggle up with.

Very festive indeed! I love all of your pretty decorations, especially the heart. I can just imagine my hubby rolling his eyes as well, oh well :) That is a beautiful cup, just gorgeous. Hope your little one feels better soon.

Oooh, now I will be forced to make a trip to Sainsbeans in search of teeny tiny stockings! I've been bringing our decorations down from the loft ready for tomorrow when we choose our tree. This year, I found some beautiful snowflakes made by a local potter for £1.60 each at a Christmas fair. Quel bargain! I love your beautiful pictures. Laura x

Oh what gorgeous decorations. I actually haven't bought any new decorations this year yet although there are many beauties out there. Those little glass ornaments and those stockings LUSH!!!Hope your little one gets better soon xxx
